Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) developed by Microsoft. It combines the relational Access Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft 365 suite of applications and is included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately. Microsoft Access allows software developers, data architects, and power users to develop application software. It is supported by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), an object-based programming language that can reference a variety of objects including the legacy DAO (Data Access Objects), ActiveX Data Objects, and many other ActiveX components. Access is used to create customizable database applications, automate business processes, and integrate with multiple data sources. It is also used for creating rich data entry forms, importing, transforming, and exporting data, and storing data in SQL Server and Microsoft Azure SQL to enhance reliability, scalability, security, and long-term manageability.
In summary, Microsoft Access is a versatile tool that allows users to create and manage databases, develop applications, and automate business processes, making it a valuable asset for businesses and individuals alike.
